Back to School

Well, I am officially a little sad today! I can't believe our summer is over and school has hit! I know I've said this before but I love having everyone home. Again, I am excited to get back into a routine and our daily lives BUT I am going to miss everyone. I am especially going to miss my little helper, Nathan! He starts school today!!! Unfortunately/fortunately, he is in an all day every day program that starts on Monday! WOW, that seems crazy and I'm sure he'll love it, but it's tough seeing your little ones grow up so fast! I'll keep you posted on how his day goes today (we have a 30 minute interview time today). He is SO excited I can't be sad:)

So, in honour of the big day, here is a super cute treat for their lunches! Now, I can't take the credit for this project, my mom made these for my munchkins....are they not ADORABLE!!!

My mom said it was okay to share a video and instructions with you so we did:) I hope you like it! The video is a little longer, but I really wanted to show you how to get a few of the tricks (like the 3D pencil end). Thanks so much for stopping by today and I hope you feel inspired! I sure am!

In the meantime, I hope your back to school is a safe and happy one:) I will enjoy my morning with Nathan and Cole before Nathan treks off into the "real world":) Have a great day!

Hi, your back to school chocolate pencil is so cute, I would like to make some. Do you have written dimensions, video doesn't always play on my dinosaur computer. Glad I found your blog, you have cute ideas. Thanks, Sandy

I love this project and I love your creativity!! Awesome!!
Can I request that you send me via email the instructions for this project? I can't seem to get the video to completely play through. My email is ctknuppe@gwtc.net

I love this project. I am unable to view the video and I was wondering if you had the measurements and instructions in written form. I would love to make these for my children to take to school. Thanks.

Thanks so much Heather & Mum for sharing this fun project. It's a perfect teacher's gift or kids's school friend gift too. I think they'll be a year end hit for school in Aus. Hope you have a happy day. Di :0)

What a CUTE idea! And I'm with you Heather! I LOVE having my kids home on all their breaks... :o) But I also enjoy the scheduling part too.... It's hard to send them off but it's good for everyone involved when they leave to school! :o) Thanks so much for the video... Gonna try and makes me some of these! :o)
